Similan Hotel Zhuhai（Gongbei Port High speed Railway Station）

We had a good stay at the hotel. The staff are very friendly and helpful, especially the front desk staff. We had breakfast, lunch (at the pizza cafe) and dinner (Chinese restaurant on the top floor), food was good too. We also tried the massage at the hotel, which was good too.

I arrived in Zhuhai via High Speed train from Guangzhou South. It took me about 1/2 hour to get here because there are so many blockades near the train station and I wasn't sure where I was going. Now I know and the walk is about 10 minutes. A manager was called to help at my check-in, maybe because the clerk hadn't done a foreigner before, but than and throughout the trip, staff were professional, helpful and friendly. The swim pool and laundry are on the 5th floor, so on my last day, I put clothes in the wash machine and the clerk came and showed me how and where to pour soap and softener, then recommended the 15 minute cycle. After my swim, clothes were washed but all 3 dryers were busy. The clerk came and offered to do the transfer, drying, folding and bring them to my room. That she did. I was on the 16th floor with a nice view of Macau and the the bay with the new roadway to Hong Kong. One small negative: as I like flexibility in my dining, I didn't include and=y meals in my reservation. When I decided to try the Thai restaurant, she checked my room key and got flustered that I hadn't pre-paid. She seemed to not know what to do, so I went to my favorite hotel eatery, the Capri Pizzeria and bar. The place is gourmet dining with a great choice of dishes, including pizzas, and drinks. I had a Guiness Stout with every meal. It was so good, I even extended my stay.

The hotel is situated very near the beach of Zhuhai. Staff are tentative to services. Breakfasts are superb with a selection of Chinese and international dishes.
